I have heard from a good source that Disney is planning on taking down the Epcot wand. From what I have been told it's costing the company too much money to keep it up. Now I can understand why they are taking it down, after all Disney is a business that wants to make money. However I will miss that wand when it's time to come down!
Maybe they could be convinced to auction it off on eBay. ; Hmmm... maybe it go be attached to Skydome (Rogers) in Toronto!!!!
Wow I can't imagine what it would look like without the wand. ; The three times that I have been there, it has been there. ; I remember seeing it for the first time and seeing it just sparkle like nothing I have seen before. ; I will miss it if that is true.
This is what it looks like without the wand: There's also some interesting triva about the place at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epcot_Center and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceship_Earth The wand is really relatively new... the park opened in '82, but the wand was only added in 2000 and was only supposed to be there for a year.
